The brain is a very powerful organ. From first hand experience I can tell you that pretty much anything you can imagine, it can make you see, or believe.@freetrader
Is it possible then that the 10k+ number is any nodes with ports open that he sees at any time? That seems like alot but I can almost kinda believe that many nodes that pop on the sync every so often then go offline, but happen to have ports open.
enlightenmentthis is nutty, bitcoin code is nutty, it needs a complete rewrite.
I can understand an archive/ listening node, but what is a non listening node? is that like someone who stooped running a node?What am I missing that make's Luke-jr's numbers remotely possible?? 30k+ archive nodes??

why did your node ban this node?If this is of any interest, this is the peer that my node banned:

That IP humorously enough is generating what appear to be donation QR codes over http.
Implying to the casual reader that the use of the mentioned assert() in main.cpp cannot be due to Bitcoin Core.There is no main.cpp in Bitcoin Core anymore, in fact.
OK, I cut up my previous article and used bits of it to create a rough Market Governance FAQ here: https://bitcoindebates.miraheze.org/wiki/Market_Governance_FAQ. I would appreciate if no one shared this outside of this forum until I can get it in a better state. Some parts of it I'm somewhat happy with, but a lot of it I think is not that clear.Thanks @go1111111, Glad you liked it!
I'm not planning on an FAQ, I'd be happy to help review yours, look at your notes, or whatever you think would be of assistance.
Pretty worrisome graph there. Looking at the two volumes shows how little ETH has to grow to really compete.ETH volume coming dangerously close to BTC:

Hope this forces a hand of the community to take some action. I'm doing my part.
Not very happy about Coinbase precipitating the situation with stopping payment of network fees, but I understand their hand has been forced as well.
From a game theory point of view, something will happen to balance the market forces.
